The Most Statistically-Backed Match Result-BTTS Tips - 16/4/22

On Saturday, Djurgarden and Norrkoping go head to head in the Swedish Allsvenskan in a battle of eighth against 14th heading into matchday three.

Djurgarden defeated Degerfors 3-1 on matchday one at home, before suffering a 1-0 away defeat at Mjalby, whilst Norrkoping have suffered back to back 1-0 defeats at the hands of AIK and Vorberg.

The last time these two sides met in late November, the Both Teams to Score market landed as they played out a 1-1 draw at Norrkoping, as Karl Homberg gave the visitors the lead before Samuel Adegbenro equalised in the 45th minute.

Last season, Djurgarden finished third in the standings after 30 matches, just two points short of league champions Malmo, whilst Norrkoping accumulated 13 fewer points as they finished seventh on 44 points.

The next tip comes from the MLS where Houston Dynamo face off against Portland Timbers.

At present, Houston are sixth in the Western Conference with 11 points after six matches, whilst the Timbers are eighth, with two fewer points having played one more fixture.

Houston are unbeaten in four matches heading into this game after their dramatic 4-3 win over San Jose Earthquakes last time out. Prior to this, Dynamo had beaten Inter Miami 3-1, drawn 1-1 against Colorado Rapids, as well as coming out as 2-1 victors at home to Vancouver Whitecaps.

Portland have the inferior form of the two sides, winning just two of their last five, following 3-2 and 1-0 victories over Vancouver Whitecaps and Austin FC on either side of 3-1 and 4-1 defeats to LA Galaxy and Dallas, as well as a 1-1 draw with Orlando City.

On Saturday, Bundesliga 2 promotion hopefuls St. Pauli travel to Sandhausen in desperate need of a win if they are to enhance their chances of avoiding the play-off place.

Sandhausen are 15th and will be determined to confirm their place in Germany’s second-tier for another campaign, whilst St. Pauli trail league leaders Schalke 04 by just one point.

St. Pauli won the reverse fixture by a 3-1 scoreline as Guido Burgstaller and Daniel-Kofi Kyereh (2) both got on the scoresheet back in late November.

The home side have won two of their last five matches in Bundesliga 2, following 2-1 and 3-1 victories against Dynamo Dresden and Hannover 96 on either side of two 1-1 draws with Darmstadt and Werder Bremen, as well as a 1-0 loss to Hansa Rostock.

Meanwhile, St. Pauli could only draw 1-1 at home with promotion rivals Werder Bremen last time out after suffering a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Hansa Rostock. Before the aforementioned results, St. Pauli had beaten Heidenheim 1-0 and Karlsruher 3-1, as well as drawing 1-1 with Dresden.

Runaway Swiss Super League leaders Zurich hosts Young Boys at Stadion Letzigrund, looking to consolidate their nine points gap to second-place FC Basel.

Zurich won the last meeting between these two sides 2-1 in Bern, as Blaz Kramer and Antonio Marchesano put them in a commanding 2-0 lead before Vincent Sierro’s last consolation goal.

The home side come into this match in the better form of the two, as since their win over Young Boys, they have drawn 1-1 with Grasshopper and lost 1-0 to Servette. Prior to these results, they had lost 3-0 at home to St. Gallen and defeated Lausanne Sport 2-0.

Staggeringly, Young Boys are winless in their last five having drawn 2-2 four times against Lausanne Sport twice, as well as with both Basel and Luzern with their other result being the loss to Zurich.

Freiburg takes on Bochum in the German Bundesliga on Saturday in a meeting of fifth against 12th in the standings.

The home side are just three points off the Champions League qualification places, whilst Bochum have consolidated their place in the division for next season, lying 10 points clear of the relegation zone with four matches to go.

Freiburg come into this game off the back of a vital 2-1 victory against Eintracht Frankfurt after suffering a 4-1 defeat at home to Bayern Munich. Before this, Christian Streich’s side had drawn 0-0 with Greuther Furth, beaten Wolfsburg 3-2, as well as drawing 1-1 away at RB Leipzig.

Bochum’s safety has been all but confirmed after three positive results in their last four outings, as they managed 2-1 victories against Greuther Furth and Hoffenheim on either side of a 2-1 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt, before drawing 0-0 with Bayer Leverkusen.

When these two sides last met on the 4th of March in the DFB Pokal, Freiburg ran out as 2-1 winners, following goals by Nils Peterson and Rolland Sallai on either side of a Sebastien Polter strike in the second half.
